Porsche has unveiled a limited-edition 911 Turbo S created exclusively for Kuwait, marking 70 years since the first Porsche sports car was imported into the Middle East.
Called the 911 Turbo S Sadu Edition, the bespoke model is based on the latest 992.II-generation Turbo S, with production limited to just 20 vehicles.
The release commemorates the arrival of a Porsche 356 Cabriolet imported into Kuwait by Morad Behbehani in 1956, establishing Behbehani Motors Company as the brand’s first Middle Eastern dealership.
The special-edition model draws heavily on Al Sadu, the traditional wool weaving practice recognised as part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2020. Known for its bold geometric patterns and cultural significance across the Arabian Peninsula, the weaving style has been incorporated throughout both the exterior and interior detailing of the car.
“The Turbo S Sadu Edition combines high performance with exclusive craftsmanship,” Porsche Middle East and Africa CEO Dr Manfred Bräunl said.
“This very special project has been years in the making and the final product is a fitting tribute to the Behbehani family’s 70-year Porsche story.”
Finished in Cremewhite with black high-gloss accents, the car features bespoke Sadu-inspired decals across the lower doors and rear wing, alongside specially painted Sport Classic wheels and gold ‘Turbo S Sadu Edition’ badging.
Inside, the two-tone leather cabin combines black and Bordeaux Red finishes with GT Silver detailing and custom Sadu-pattern textiles integrated into the seats and door panels. The ‘70 Years’ anniversary motif has also been embossed into the headrests in Arabic lettering.
Additional detailing extends to the key case, owner’s manual wallet and illuminated door sill guards, while the car is equipped with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, titanium sports tailpipes, a Burmester High-End Surround Sound System and front axle lift technology.
Behbehani Motors Company President Ali Behbehani said the model reflected both Kuwait’s traditions and Porsche’s bespoke craftsmanship capabilities.
The limited-run vehicles will be completed through Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur in Zuffenhausen, adjacent to the 911 production line.
